A paint tester station for testing a paint applicator is disclosed. The paint tester station comprises a testing material defining a testing surface suitable for testing a paint applicator thereon, and a housing defining a plurality of walls surrounding a periphery of the testing surface. The housing defines a window providing access to the testing surface. Thus, as paint is applied to the testing surface through the window, the walls cooperate to assist in limiting application of paint to within the periphery of the testing surface.
